Hey there burners. Even though we worked hard to make this website HTML 5 compliant there's gonna be times when FLASH media is offered. Like today's slideshow from Buff Sanitized featuring these awesome animated GIFs from Burning Man 2010.

Buff wrote in to say: "Hi. I have some coolio gif images from Metropolis. I still need to upload the ones I made from Evolution to my photobucket account. Never enough time in the day, you know. Perhaps they might be enjoyed by others? Stay good, Stay clean. Buff loves you! ♥

Well BURNcast loves Buff more than bacon! Thank you! And thanks for sharing these playa GIFs!

Just FYI to all you readers out there: for some weird reason we've had some problems with the ability to see all images in the album through the embedded slideshow above. Here's the direct link to the Photobucket album if you're also having problems viewing the images as well. You might have a better experience at directly on Photobucket.

"After my virgin trip in 2009, I knew I had to go back Home. The signs that always touch me as you drive slowly into Black Rock city were wonderful this year, and I interwove them into this video to give you a sense for not just the sights and sounds, but the philosophy and meaning behind Burning Man and all that the dusty playa can be."

BURNcast is getting ready for our new season and we're testing a few things to make sure it ain't broke.

Yeah, yeah, if it ain't broke don't fix it, right?

Well unfortunately the BURNcast website has been broke for awhile. A lot of readers kept telling us that clicking here would crash their browser. We think (but we're not sure) it had something to do with all the crazy FLASH elements we served up to enable visitors to view our media enclosures live on the site in addition to subscribing to them via RSS.

But new for 2011 we made some changes around here. What? Did you think we took over a month off and just slacked off? Au contraire! We were busy, busy, busy behind the scenes trying to figger out how to make you happy.

So now BURNcast is proud to offer this brand new solution: we've gone HTML5. Woo hoo! This means that many visitors using an iPhone or an iPad can see what's going on around here, too. Seeing as I have an iPhone, I was really sad I couldn't see a lot of the content here on my phone so now I'm a happy camper too.

But...but... (there's always a but, right?) in some instances we weren't entirely able to disable FLASH and if you're having issues, please let us know.

Now for us to roll out these changes, we're gonna need some help. If you see some strangeness in our RSS feed, whether through your reader or on Facebook please help us help you and let us know. Post a comment here on the blog or contact us here.

Here's hoping this transition to HTML5 and a new server will be smooth! Until then, stay tuned for Tutu Tuesday!
